Oh I know, everyone thinks that. It's surprising that they somehow passed laws restricting open carry in that state! I've been watching closely for a while now, since they've been doing open carry demonstration for a long time (Texans have the right to openly carry rifles, but not handguns) where they go out and…

It's not, but that would be awesome!

Texas doesn't allow open carry at all of handguns, which the residents are fighting hard to get corrected. You're correct about open carry, a LOT of states have no regulations regarding openly carrying firearms. As for registration, there are almost no states that require gun registration, mostly due to the fear of…

"to this firm"? What do you mean? You keep the wallet somewhere secure on your own hardware. It's like a file on your computer that gives you access to the money stored in your wallet. There's no "firm" you have to trust with your money, that's kinda the beauty/point of it!

I'm trying to think back to what year I started using Phish. No relation to the band, my last name is Finn, so buddy's in 7th/8th grade kinda started calling me that jokingly. (mental math incoming)... Probably sometime in '02 was when that started. I've always wanted something more fitting than just phishFI (the FI…

GPS is only accurate to within a few meters (for commercial users), especially without line-of-sight to the satellites. Even military GPS wouldn't be accurate enough to plot the inside of a 10' by 10' room. INS (inertial navigation systems) can be very accurate for short distances, though. There's just no way this…

I'm not sure that cryptocurrencies have that much dependency on technology, aside from the system required as the currencies' infrastructure, which wouldn't be affected much by a "bubble popping". I think that since we aren't at a point where BTC is being used regularly (like tap-to-pay for Bitcoin or regular stores…

It can do plenty with things like offline Gmail access, document editing with gDrive, etc, without an internet connection and then update/send the corresponding files/emails once you are connected.

Because that's how it's always been...

I'm a little salty seeing these out and Razer already offering something that includes these cards while the latest Macbook Pro (if you're willing to spring for the dedicated GPU) still has the 7xx Series. You'd think they would have held out for this!

You're probably the only one who cares about that distinction... Most people understand that laptop parts aren't plug-n-play. And those who don't know that don't know enough to do it anyways.

Oh yeah, this has been warned REPEATEDLY to anyone who uses reddit/forums/IRCs/techsites for crypto. Idiots think it'll never happen to them, and here they are. I'm impressed by how many of them had thousands of dollars buried away in MtGox though. I mean, honestly, THOUSANDS of dollars worth, why would you have that…

That's really not the case. The point of crypto is to make transactions easier and decentralized, and tracking is just inherently "simple". The only trouble you run into trying to track anything down is that there are so many wallets where the money could go, but going back and finding the actual account that the…

There was never a hack. They claimed there was an issue that people were taking advantage of. Something called transaction malleability which would allow people to request their funds, change some files before anything gets confirmed, and then request it again. Essentially, it was like writing a check for some cash…

The definition is irrelevant, it's the purpose that's important. Blocking sales on Facebook won't stop criminals from having a gun.

Which has nothing to do with stopping or preventing criminal use of "murder instruments"... God forbid someone sell/buy a device to defend themselves using Facebook (GASP!)

Right, cause criminals can't get them from anywhere but Facebook...

"illegal guns"... So, does that mean they'll have regulations for each state? Not sure why they feel the need to get involved here.

Which is still what, 2 hours? It would be a ridiculous pain to be out and about (especially if you're still using the phone) with a dongle hanging off of your phone snapping pictures and sending texts... And who said anything about 3 batteries? We're talking about one spare here.

Uh, because it's way more convenient to plug a new battery in and have your battery full than to walk around with some dongle hanging off the bottom of your phone for 2+ hours in order to get it to charge... Especially at a place like Disney World (OP's example) where having more stuff in your pocket is probably not…
